I think the pets are fairly balanced now after the initial 'omg they won't die against anything' on Act I/II. I'm clearly overgeared for Act I and somewhat for Act II. By Act III they were starting to die against some regular mobs and the dogs would usually suffer casualities against elites. By Act IV the dogs were almost useless with my current gear as most enemies wouldn't take long to kill them (and Mallet Lords would 1 shot all 3) and elites would usually kill all the pets pretty swiftly.

So far I've been working through the game on my WD rather than farming. Now that I've hit Diablo and I can't see myself beating him just yet without either a gear ugprade or by changing my build specifically to deal with him (or both) I'll probably give farming Act III a go as I didn't have too much trouble with it when I played through.

What do people do as WD on Act III? And more importantly, how long does it take/what are your stats? I mean you could always run the entire act from start to finish but that would take hours. Or maybe start in the Keep Depths lvl1 and work through Ghom to the Siegebreaker. Start on the battlefield, get 5 stacks and work through from the Siegebreaker to the end? Or just start inside the mouth of hell and work through? I'm thinking of either doing Ghom/Siegebreaker or Cydaea/Azmodan, probably the former as Hulking Phasebeast elites can be a major problem.

That is my current WD gear and he farms act 3 pretty efficiently, can still die due to mistakes but overall pretty good. Gear hasnt been that expensive either that lot probably cost about 6mil(Minus gems) total minus gloves which I found.

In terms of my act 3 run ive been working backwards from cydaea, getting to her then going through siege then keep depths.

Agreed. Plus the mobs are much more troubling than most Act III mobs. As a Barb, the single worst enemies on Act III were probably a toss up between the Blood Clan Occulists who would shield things CONSTANTLY making elite version of them seriously annoying to fight and Succubus that would CONSTANTLY backstep away from you, even worse when they were Molten, which they almost always frigging are. As WD though, so long as they don't have some irritating combinations of Jailer/Teleport/Mortar, I didn't have much trouble with anything bar Hulking Phasebeasts.

Those 2 mob types are the main reason I am happy to be a ranged DH again, they suck badly for melee.

Nice Brokkah. Do you use d2jsp? I only ask 'cause there's a lot of items on there that could be upgrades for you.

No I dont, I'm very wary of trading outside the AH.

And yeah I've put quite a lot of time in, but I also got extremely lucky with some drops that sold for masses of gold meaning I could buy some nice gear.

Spenty & Brok

You can get mediators involved in any deals which are super trustworthy. I used it for years on D2 and even managed to sell a few items on D3 on there. It's like eBay, if you know what you're doing you're not gonna get blagged.

Have a look at the trophy room on there even if you're not interested in trading - some of the best items that have rolled, pretty cool to look at.

This is the best geared DH i've seen on there btw.

I'm about to have a session tonight, thinking of just blitzing act 1 unless somebody is up for something more exciting? I can handle Act 1 easily, Act 2 relatively easily, and Act 3 up to Ghom at which point I curl up in a ball and weep quietly.

Rids#2751 is my username thing.

You need a design for it or get someone to do it for you. If you add me Brokkah#2761 I will do it for you. The combine costs 100k from memory.
